Update to Apps.Json

By Selma Pittman · · v1.2016-01-01

On March 28th, Validic will release an update to the apps.json API call, which powers [custom marketplaces]( https://docs.validic.com/docs/custom-marketplace). These enhancements are fully backwards-compatible and therefore should not interrupt your service. The specific additions and sort order changes are outlined below:
* In the standard response, applications will now show two new properties:
* "validated_data_available" which indicates if the application provides validated data
* "validated_object_types" provides the data objects which can be validated
* In the expanded response the property “supported_activity_types” which displays the supported activities for this device. These values are based on the devices marketing material. At this time, only devices which return a “fitness” record are supported. Additional devices will be supported in time.
* The sort order is now alphabetical
At this time, Validic is also formally releasing our [API versioning policy](https://docs.validic.com/docs/managing-change). Please take a moment to review this and understand what impact it may have on your future development planning efforts.
